I have been trying for quite some time to show the current coordinates of a turtle in NetLogo. I'm aware that to show one of the coordinates, I could use:

show [xcor] of turtle 0

or 

show [ycor] of turtle 0

But how do I show both coordinates?

Thank you.

You can show [list xcor ycor] of turtle 0.

Or, fancier: show [(word "(" xcor ", " ycor ")")] of turtle 0.

if you don't know the exact turtle (of turtle 5) who's coordinates you would like to show but you want to identify the position of specific turtle running a process you can use just 

show list xcor ycor  ; not need to use self or myself

From http://ccl.northwestern.edu/netlogo/docs/programming.html#syntax

you can do

show [xcor + ycor] of turtle 5

But not sure if that helps?

sorry.. it doesnt.. 1 sec!

  • yup dude, it doesnt. Tried that out too! haha! What I want is both the coordinates, that adds them up – aHaH Jan 31 '12 at 11:47
  • yep.. I know I misread your Q! Not sure if you can in 1 statement? – kenam Jan 31 '12 at 11:49
  • i think there is just enquired from a frd earlier. Could do with patch-here. ask turtle [ patch-here ] it returns the coordinates xy – aHaH Jan 31 '12 at 12:41
  • @aHaH: if the turtle is on a patch center, then its coordinates are integers, and the same as the coordinates of the patch. but if the turtle isn't on the patch center, then its coordinates are different – Seth Tisue Nov 19 '12 at 13:01
